If there is any issue with wood and nails then bee keepers are in serious trouble. We will have to all move to another material for hives and frames. Any issues with comb honey in timber frames would apply equally to honey extracted or comb honey cut from timber frames.
I really can't see how there can be a issue, every super market in the country sells raw meat, poultry and seafood skewered on bits of timber. Plenty of takeaway places sell the same cooked ready to consume packaged exactly the same way.
Yeppas.. and all approved with licence to sell such.
From the visual you post all you are missing is a piece of paper
to wave about and the APPR ###### to go on the packaging.
You have done well, good luck with it all :-))

(Update)
Sorry but I have just read the restarted thread and
something Mark put triggered a memory.
True Story.
No names no pack drill buuut I know this fella who's brother's
Mother was his own wife's Mum-in-Law. A successfull businessman
with an ice dispensing franchise operation he was brought a
civil suit(plaint) claiming damages both permanent
physchological (sp?) and immediate digestive trauma (repaired)
over a stainless steel pop rivet head being consumed as part of
an iced drink. The claim was the plaintiff saw it in the glass but
swallowed regardless, to then be rushed to ED.
Yeah, I know... BS.
Buuut the outcome was an out of court settlement in the tens of
thousands of hard earned Aussie dollars. Lucky actually because
this was before the changes to corporate Law which demanded
a Director put up the Home in declarations.
As far as it is known the plaintiff never had more than a few hours
discomfort awaiting xRays excetera, and who knows how the evidence
was retrieved but it certainly was presented at discovery (legal
disclosure).
I remain convinced none of it would have passed muster in any
Court, however some people find a lever and use it. The cheapest
way out then is to pay up.
Jes' something to think about, eh?
